The talk is if they don't trade down they will take Mack so that who I picked.

I did the same. Makes a lot of sense for their needs.

Isn't Mack a pass rusher? OLB/De?

I don't see the need there. They two pro bowl caliber pass rushers.

Now, if they're thinking of having Mack play SLB, good luck with that. We tried that experiment with Orakpo in 2009 and it didn't go so well trying to make a defensive end a SLB/SAM.

If they want a SLB/SAM they'd be better off trading down and taking CJ Mosely. He'd have to put on 5-10 lbs, but that's doable. They're going to need an OLB that can cover in their 4-3 scheme, and that's not Mack._________________RIP SSFmike23md

Their biggest need is a true #1 WR and the fact that Watkins is being talked about at #2 means they need Watkins. This will allow more single coverage on Austin which could be like DeSean in Philly._________________2017 NFL MOCK DRAFT

Yes, Mack is an OLB who can rush the passer, buts he's more athletic than Brian Orakpo. He played OLB in college and would be a good fit at OLB in any system, just like Von Miller was. The Cincinnati Bengals use large OLBs in their 4-3 scheme in the same way. You can never have too many pass rushers. That would given them Long, Brockers, Langford, Quinn, Ogletree, Laurinitis, & Mack. They would have the best front 7 in football.

I'm not as high on Sammy Watkins as you guys are. He's very athletic but he has a lot of question marks IMO. He didn't have a good Junior year, and I think taking him in the top 3 is too risky. I'd rather have Mack._________________

Watkins had a down Junior Year? What are your standards? He has to catch 120+ receptions and go for 2000 yards and 20 tds?

In 2012, as a sophomore, Watkins had 57 receptions for 708 yards and three touchdowns. (If I remember correctly, Watkins battled through injuries in his sophomore year)

Last year in his junior year, Watkins had 101 receptions for 1,464 yards and 12 touchdowns. He went on to be MVP of the 2014 Orange Bowl when he set an Orange Bowl record with 16 receptions for 227 yards. He also set the school record for career receptions in the game finishing with 240._________________RIP SSFmike23md

I meant his sophomore year.

I thought he battled through an ankle injury in his sophomore year if I remember correctly. I'll try to find out.

Watkins hobbled off the field with an apparent leg injury. Watkins was pummeled by imposing LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo in the backfield after taking a handoff, then had to be helped to the sideline and carted off the field with a towel over his head.

It was later announced he has an injured right ankle. X-rays were negative, but he's out for the game.

Watkins has missed time due to both suspension and injury this year. Despite missing three full games, he still finished the year with 808 yards from scrimmage.

In reading about and watching Mack, I'm sorry, but my suspicions are confirmed about him translating to a 4-3 SLB, as they were about Orakpo in 08.

He's been a pass rusher all 4 years at Buffalo, most of the time with his hand in the dirt. He struggled to drop in coverage, and struggles with his hips, fluidness in coverage, he also had problems with missed tackles.

People like him for his pass rushing skills - nothing else.

Moving him to a 4-3 SLB would be a mistake IMO, and a waste of his pass rushing talent. He needs to be in a 3-4 as an OLB, or a 4-3 RDE._________________RIP SSFmike23md
